[Follow up] 非诚勿扰: Africans in China in Chinese popular culture – ‘You are the one’

Following up from this previous post on representation of Africans in contemporary Chinese popular culture (i.e. the case of Xiao De in 非诚勿扰 – Feicheng wurao), this week this popular dating show featured their first ever black African male participant: Wei Long (26) from Namibia.

Wei Long, a Namibian Meteorology student from Nanjing, chose Xiao De as his dating target only to be utterly rejected by the so-called ‘African princess’

The rejection: Guinean Xiao De (24 – right) tells Namibian Wei Long (26) that she’s not interested in dating African men, that she’s only looking for a Chinese boyfriend. Xiao De continuously accuses African men for being real machos and claims that she has the right to go Chinese in her likes.
